Fountain – manufacturer information

Fountain Powerboats was launched in 1972 with the single minded goal of building the fastest, smoothest, safest, best-handling and most dependable boats on the water. Our performance superiority has been proven time after time on race courses worldwide.

ROUGH WATER DOMINATION: We’ve notched more World and National championships than the world’s largest 100 boat builders combined. From Key west to New York City to California we’ve conquered every racecourse and left the competition in our wake.

SMOOTH WATER DOMINATION: We’ve broken our own world V-bottom speed record nine times and we currently own every twin-engine V-bottom world speed record.

We have no intention of throttling back anytime soon. Fountain Mercury is a company on the move, constantly looking for ways to improve what’s already the very best. Our line of performance boats stretches from 29’ to 47’ and includes the next generation designs that utilize the latest Super Ventilated Positive Lift hull technology along with our pad keels and set back transoms. These hulls are the most efficient designs in the industry – delivering unmatched speed, fuel economy and superior handling.

Our ever expanding line of fishing boats take tournament fishing and family fun to new levels! We have won an unprecedented five Southern Kingfish Association World Championships – more than any other manufacturer. We have also dominated every division in the American Striper Association winning 2 World Championships in the 5 years since its inception. Clearly Fountain is the choice of Professional fishermen worldwide.

Our line of Express Cruisers in 38’ and 48’ offerings are changing the way that boaters look at cruising. For the first time a manufacturer has combined world record setting hull technology and construction with the most luxurious amenities available. Add it all up and you have a high speed, fuel efficient ride with the finest interiors and layout designs in the business.
Fountain is one of the few boat builders that:
* Produces in house almost every component part utilized on our boats – This gives us total control over the quality and design of each part installed on our boats.
* Water tests every boat that we build in actual use conditions at our factory on the water. This ensures that you get a factory tuned product that’s ready to run.
* Has embraced the Toyota production system and Lean Manufacturing throughout the entire organization to achieve the highest levels of efficiency and quality possible.

Year after year, Fountain Mercury continues to win top accolades from the marine press. Last year our newly designed 47 Lightning won Powerboat Magazine’s Offshore Boat Of the Year. Over the years Fountain has won 29 awards from Powerboat Magazine for product excellence. Our 48 Express Cruiser won Boating Magazines “Boat of the Year” and the Robb reports “Best of the Best”, the list goes on and on. Like other industries, boating technology moves fast and at Fountain Mercury we set the pace. We implement improvements in design, styling, safety and construction as breakthroughs occur.

Because technology doesn’t wait for model year changes, neither do we. If it’s new and improved, you’ll find it first on a Fountain Mercury. And finally you’ll always get more performance, more standard features and better fuel economy for a lot less money with Fountain Mercury!
